RE: Is 14 years to old to try competing?

No 14 is not to old. If you are meaning human, you can start any age, or horse, that's still not old :)

I'm not made of money at all if you haven't got your own horse get a loan, or ride a horse in competitions for someone else. Then try and scoop up some county level prizes, and try and get a sponser. Keep aiming high!

RE: Is 14 years to old to try competing?

I'd just like to share that I own a 22yr old Morgan mare who is 14.1. She is in good health and has been free jumped a lot in order to keep up her back strength. She has jumped 3 feet 8 inches before, and I currently compete 2 foot on her (only because I haven't been jumping long, I hope to graduate to higher things soon.) if your horse is healthy, you should be fine competing the AA circuit on a 14 year old. DONT BE AFRAID to scratch if your horse starts to feel tired or is showing signs of wanting to quit, or signs of pain.

RE: Is 14 years to old to try competing?

start off with smaller courses and easier tests and in time you will be more confident and so will your horse! i know people who are in thier late 30's and they are just starting out so youll be fine!!....... hope this helps xx
